your post is simple, straight to the point and contains not only the salient points but is full of common sense. you should win some award for this. the only thing I would add, and I doubt if I could be as succinct as you, is that we would need to realign the east/west thing. geographically, Mizzou to the west and the two new atlantic seaboard schools to the east.

I am going to vote for you for SEC commissioner, esp if you don't live in Birmingham.
